Now here is one dad who is easily in the running for "World's Best Dad".

Ron Fugelseth helped expand and combine his young sons love of both trains and space - the result? This adorable video. Fugelseth carefully thought of it all - using GPS tracking and a balloon to send his son's favourite train almost 30 kilometres into the sky! Particularly gorgeous is his son's excitement on finding his train again once it comes crashing back down from it's adventure. Oh and the very cute train-face animations.

Hopefully it will inspire you to get creative with your interaction with your own kids' favourite things!
